Henna, Because if I have to chose between representing myself and using a buyer broker i would go with the buyer broker. Sellers are the ones paying commission, not buyers so I would rather have a broker to help me go thru the process. I did read the article, thx. It is interesting... BTW, most people on open houses are putting a broker name when sign in so by default listing agent will co-broke

Henna, because if choosing between representing myself or having a buyer broker I would choose to use a broker to help me go thru the process, coop application, etc. I did read the article, interesting... But from my experience, in most cases people put in a broker name on the open houses when they are signing in , meaning most of them using a broker. I just thought that it would be possible and make sense to use my daughter as a broker since she has RE license. I could have put her name when visiting open houses. But looks like everybody on this forum disagrees...
